Finding your voice

It Starts With You

Writing is a way of finding ourselves. I can help you unleash your creative potential through writing, in a method tailored to you.

I began writing thirty years ago, and I’ve never stopped. I teach adults, young people and children the art of writing creatively through one to one lessons, group workshops and structured courses in Scotland and Italy.

My work has included short stories, poetry and novels. I studied English first at Stirling University and completed my Masters in Creative Writing at Edinburgh University. I passionately believe in the power of each individual’s creativity, and their potential to find a voice uniquely their own, from which to create worlds, write their story and discover a new kind of confidence which comes from within.

On this website you will find information about the range of services I can offer. I teach in person, online and organise residential writing retreats in Scotland and Italy. Get in touch for more information.
